Microsoft has had 25+ years to fix this. They could have offered to buy the domain at any time. Instead they leaned on free benevolence from this guy.

The parent post said that "we should just kill the domain out from under him". That's pretty Soviet Ukraine bullshit to me.

What I mean is that no one will piss their pants about "morality" if that couple wanted to sell their house. It's their house, they can sell it and the associated addresses to whomever they see fit

by huffmsa 7y ago
And you're perfectly within your right to sell that address to anyone you so please. For whatever price.

Microsoft has been living rent free on this guy's good will.

That's not related in the slightest

If this were a meat space address, this wouldn't even be an issue. Then or now

But this only hurts M$FT and their customers. This isn't a new highway or magical Soviet killing invention. Government level entities have zero business getting involved.

The guy who owns this domain definitely didn't say he's going to be immediately selling it to North Korea if M$FT doesn't bite. You'd better tread lightly with the libelous claims here. He's simply putting it up to

Am I an extortionist criminal for charging Hess a high price to extract oil from my land? After all, the world needs oil. Should I just have my land taken?

So call your DNS provider and have them not resolve to his address.

So digital "things" aren't real? A lot of people who've been jailed and had to pay big damage money for possessing certain combinations of bits would disagree with you. > Eminent domain Doesn't apply when it&#x

He has an asset that he values at $1.7 million. His right is that he owns it and can sell it as he see fit. He has no obligation to M$FT or any of their customers.

Do they though? Take a compass out with you next time. Mine almost always face mostly north or mostly south, now that I'm thinking about it. And I'm pretty sure the dogs out my apartment window face mostly N/S. Will observe.

So should sprinters be allowed track spikes? Even at my modest, better than average leg strength, I can easily exceed the frictional coefficient between my shoes and a track. As funny as it would be to see the entire field eat shit coming o

It's still about driver skill. If left unchecked, the engineers could build a car that would be impossible for a human to drive. Too fast, corner too hard, brake like it was on a tether, etc. So then it would be a case of building a ca

I think the real underlying issue (said elsewhere in this comment section) is that Tesla accidentally turned FSD on when recertify the car and their internal processes reconciled the mistake by turning it off, rather than eating the mistake

by huffmsa 7y ago
Yes, but if it's a choice between getting my car started and having to redo the electronics (which I can do with 3rd party parts, as I please) or getting stranded on the highway, I am happy to have the ability to choose.

Let's say you buy a house with an IoT refrigerator. Should any non-subscription upgrades to said refrigerator be invalidated because ownership changed? Should Samsung be able to disable supercooling mode? What if the fridge was recerti

So just because it costs something to remove meat space features and doesn't for digital? Seems like a good reason to disallow OTA up and down grades

by huffmsa 7y ago
I think Tesla might have turned it on to recertify the vehicle before auction, and forgot to turn it off. And a system's audit revealed the discrepancy, and rather than just eating the loss, they decided to turn off the feature. Or may

A decent lawyer will make the case that it either is or Tesla should be in the hook to renegotiate every upgrade, every time the vehicle resells.

by huffmsa 7y ago
So what it sounds like happened here is: Tesla sells vehicle, original owner doesn't buy FSD. Sells vehicle back to Tesla. Telsa turns FSD on, maybe as part of the recertification process, and forgets to turn it off. Telsa resells vehi

Then shouldn't any other upgrades you buy be tied to your account? Heated seats? Leather? Why should we treat meat space items differently than digital space ones?

by huffmsa 7y ago
Does your interior upgrade transfer too? A slippery slope we're standing on.
388.
by huffmsa 7y ago
And any lawyer who wasn't bottom of his graduating class will say they it's a one time upgrade, tied to that VIN, in the same way that an upgraded interior or larger set of wheels is. If this optional upgrade can be renegotiated a

Dumb cars are nice. My car is so dumb that I can start it without a battery, so long as I have a sufficiently steep hill or a few people to push it. My car is so dumb that it doesn't brick itself when I change the suspension or put a b

If a car manufacturer accidentally sells a car with an upgraded interior priced as a non-upgraded interior, once it's gone, they can't chase down whoever owns it and swap out the seat leather. They fucked up, too bad, so sad, try
